Gus spoke with certainty. "I always trust my visions. And I know what I saw. You come from the stars." He raised a hand to the sky.

Royce sat up but didn't respond. He stared at his fingers. Gus continued. "I suppose that has something to do with how you hide from bears that are standing right in front of you." Royce fidgeted...

"What is it Chief?" he asked. "Something on your mind?"

Gus was quiet and Royce waited. They both listened to the wind stir the leaves. "On this walk, I had another vision." Gus finally said.

"You told me. You saw me with the bear."

Gus shook his head. "Not that," he said. "Something else."

"What?" Royce tuned in to Gus's energy and felt the concern drift off the man. Since Gus rarely worried about anything, Royce perked up.

Gus shifted and held Royce's gaze. "You, my friend."

"Me, what?"

Gus studied his palms. "I saw death."

That made Royce straighten. "You saw what?"

"And there's a woman."

Royce didn't understand. He thought of his mother and sisters. "A woman? What woman?"

Gus's eyes drooped. "She will break your heart."

Royce didn't understand. He wasn't dating anyone, and considering who he was, he wondered if he ever would. "What the hell are you talking about, Chief? Other than my family, there are no women in my life."

Guy held his gaze. "Not yet."

Royce felt his body stiffen. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that there's trouble on the horizon. Someone's coming."

Royce though back on the previous six months and felt his belly curl in fear. He gripped the chair. "Who?"

Gus was unfazed. "Two maybe more. I can't be sure..."

...Royce gripped the rail. "Should I leave?"

Gus shook his head. "It's too late for that."

"Who are they? Do you know?"

Gus stood and went to stand next to Royce. "I didn't see that in my vision."

Royce didn't know what to think. "Damn it..." It was all he could think to say.

Gus spoke calmly. "But that might be the reason there's a car on the road, watching your house..."

"Leaving won't help. You must face this," said Gus. "You can not run from it."

"Run from what?" asked Royce. "What exactly am I running from?" He itched to race back to the house and start packing.

Gus didn't hesitate. "Your destiny, Starman. You have one and you must prepare for it."

Destiny can be a Deadly Choice

High Child is the fifth in the Red Line Series. This is my first book by J. T. Bishop and can assure you that this is definitely free standing, although I did get curious about what had happened to get the story to this point...

The book centers in on Royce Fletcher, who is living in a cabin in the woods, where we meet him while he is testing his paranormal skills of cloaking while a large bear is close by. The bear can definitely smell him, but cannot see him... Remember the bear because he gives payback later when he can see Royce!

While we get to know Royce, there is a murder in the nearby woods--no identification and with one shoe missing... Getting to know the sheriff and his son was a great sub-plot that I enjoy, especially when they both become part of the mystery...

Royce's friend, Gus, is a Native American. I loved his part as he uses the skills of our American Indian friends in sharing his visions to readers...He has "outed" the main character, Royce, as a man who comes from the stars...specifically from Eudora... Royce and his two sisters live on Earth, while their father lives on Eudora. Royce knows little about where he came from or his father, but made the rest of his family his responsibility when his father left.

Through Gus' latest vision, Royce has become aware that new people are coming into his life... All strangers... Now he worries if he is the only family member who is in danger... But then Gus' vision begins to come true...

Destiny - Do you believe in destiny? Must you follow it or does it just happen? For Royce, Destiny came through that bear getting even and a new woman caring for his wounds...

And again, when a man and woman were waiting in his cabin, there, to present both more of his own history, and his destiny for the future...

Two women, both of whom Royce is drawn to...Will either of these break his heart as Gus' vision indicated? Readers have the delightful opportunity to follow Royce's relationships with both of them. Which woman will you choose for Royce... but remember, the vision claims his heart will be broken..

Readers are quickly caught up as the investigation of the first, and then another attack in the woods occurs, while Royce seems to have a central role in that, at the same time he is being, albeit, unwillingly, drawn toward his destiny... With this part of the vision, it needs to be kept secret as the story gets more and more complex, dangerous, and another amazing surprise brings more people into the story, including Royce's family members.

The story grows intense, intriguing and, in the end, unexpected as the surprising climax comes... Still, while a satisfactory ending, I felt that it could also be an early indication of what the next book will cover... Mainly, I'm hoping Royce's broken heart does not remain that way! I really enjoyed this book and wish my time would allow going back and catching up with the series... On this one, I do recommend you check out what has to be an epic series!

Here's BRH Feedback--Cool!

6/17 Just saw your review on Amazon and then visited your site. Holy Smoke! As usual, I was amazed at what a fabulous job you did, reviewing the book and adding in all that related material. I was particularly thrilled that you included the book trailer I put on Utube. You adding it to your review made me very happy. In fact, I had a big smile on my face the whole time I looked at what you'd done. I even listened to the violin concerto and watched the video of Dog Hill. Every year it gets harder and harder to bring a new book to the attention of potential readers. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have you as an ally in that endeavor. Thank you so much for all you do for me and for other writers. There's no-one else like you. And that's no exaggeration.With profound gratitude, I remain, Your Friend, Don

Thank you. Your commitment to your craft is wonderful. Whether it's one star or 5, your reviews are detailed, considerate, and most of all, beneficial to the prospective reader.

What an amazing presentation. Stellar. I never expected anything like that.

Do you have a separate link that I can share? I'd love to post this everywhere I can. You did such a fabulous job.cheers Connie

Thank you so much for your glowing review of my new book. Your review really highlighted all the things that I try to incorporate in my books - they're the very things I want as a reader. I'm nearly finished writing the next book in the series - Walker and Munoz are back, and interestingly as you referenced in your review, this time it's personal. Again, thank you.

I'd read your amazing review before I looked at my Facebook page and was blessed. Hitting the link you posted, I was surprised for few would have gone to so much trouble, fewer still know that Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske) was Sephardic and bequeathed a large amount of primary source information about the Sephardim to a university, which I was able to view online when corroborating Naomi's story. Your review stands as one of the highlights of this profoundly dyslectic authors’ life. Thank & bless you heart emoticon

I thought I'd reach out to you for your heartfelt review on my novel. It was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes that someone was so moved by my tale... That it resonated that deeply with someone. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. Signed...

Wow, this is the most awesome blog post I've ever seen. Thank you for writing it! grin emoticon

I was thrilled with the details you offered in my review - like a literary movie trailer built on suspense and intrigue. I'm glad you're still reviewing books by aspiring authors like me. We need people like you! Keep up the good work and maintain that passion, Glenda!

Words fail me. Hi Glenda, I visited your review website today and was thrilled to see your marvelous features relating to Ms. Cramer's book. I passed them along to the author, and she is very excited and deeply grateful for your attention.

Your review of the book is wonderfully anecdotal and insightful, and it will be helpful I believe as an introduction to readers approaching Ms. Cramer's work for the first time. I found the opening of the review to be quite touching, with a wonderful sense of personal experience that I believe is all too often missing in critical review publication. In the context of the article, your remembrances from childhood add a truly beautiful layer to the photopoem you present.We're very impressed by what you put together using the press kit materials, and we will do our best to provide exposure for your features through our mailing list and other avenues.I do look forward to reading your articles in the future.We appreciate your considering our book and thank you very much for your fine and generous review coverage,

Saw the review and treatment of THE BLOOD BETRAYAL on your site. Once again, you've amazed me with what you do. Fantastic, fabulous… No, those words aren't good enough to describe your work and you.

I wrote up a short piece about what you did, directing people to your site from mine. That was really interesting and something I've never seen anyone do before. Great job, and I'm glad you enjoyed the novel.

Yo my truly heartfelt thank you for your very generous and kind review! I appreciate very much the time and effort you put into this review for me, and your so graciously posting it in multiple locations.

Your blogsite is extremely professional and well-done! What you posted for me there has completely blown me away!

Thank you again very much for such a comprehensive and thoroughly entertaining review. It's one of the best reviews I have received and I'm very proud to have it. Most Gratefully,

Glenda, You review blew my mind. When I listened to the songs you inserted, they brought tears to my eyes. You added a dimension to my work that was missing. In the attachment I have attempted to answer your question about anger. Thank you so much for your raving review. There are no words in the English language to express the gratitude I feel for you. I wish you a wonderful and blessed day.

I've been sitting in my chair for nearly fifteen minutes, stuck in an infinite loop of visual digestion and stunned amazement because of what you put together on your site for The Doppler Affect review. The time alone that you put into crafting the page is humbling, but the creativity and flair adds a layer I've never seen in reviews. Of course, the frosting of your very positive evaluation makes it the best cake I've eaten yet! I was also amazed at how you could step away from any biases due to your preferred genre and frame it for others...thank you. My newest book, Patriot's Point, will be released imminently. The publisher wants to know if I knew of any one in particular who has blogs or review sites that I would want to use. I immediately thought of you. Thanks, Doug

Glenda, I am truly in awe of your reviews and your review style. I have never seen anyone do a review as you can do one. I was entertained, informed, enlightened and amazed. There should be awards for creative, insightful and captivating reviews -- and you should be a recipient. Thanks for reviewing my book. And thanks for giving it an aura and image and feel that only your review could give it. I am very appreciative. All the best, Patrick

During the period of time that you requested my story, I also had other blog sites asking for the book as well. I had received three eviews prior to yours, and although I am very happy to report that all three were positive and enthusiastic, your entire presentation of the book, from the actual commentary to the ambitious visuals, blew me away and has left me emotionally weak-kneed in gratitude. I am extremely touched by all that you had to say and how you visually presented the concept of the book. Please note that I will place your website on the book's Facebook page which will hopefully bring your blog site more readership. Again, please know how grateful I am for your emotionally thrilling review. You have certainly made my day, Glenda! With much appreciation, Author/The Poe Consequence

I wanted to make sure I got a chance to properly thank you for posting the wonderful review of The Medici Boy! It was terrific, not just because you like the book (thank you) but because your analysis was thoughtful and honest. You put your heart into it, (Photos were out of this world) and you wrote like a friend would (we think that’s the very best kind of review). I appreciate your time and passion for literature! We’ve been promoting the site, since you went live, and we’re going to continue to promote your site on Social Media throughout the month. Senior Publicist Blue Dot Literary

Dear Glenda, I have to start this response with a BIG WOW! I have been very gratified with my experience as a new writer for both my books now and am working on a third. However, your review is like nothing I've ever seen, and I consider it a great piece of writing and creativity in itself. Thank you so very much for your kind words and treatment of Millstone. Once again, thank you for this review. I plan to pass it on in every venue available to me. My best wishes to you JackH

WOW! What a beautiful post you did for ALMOST PERFECT ON YOUR I can’t imagine how much time you must have taken to create some thing so imaginative and special. I feel truly humbled and touched and quite unequal to saying how much it meant to me. A real present. You must be a very special person. I wish you were my neighbor and we could have a real chat over coffee. Maybe someday. But meanwhile know how wonderful your work made me feel and buoyed to keep on keeping on! Diane
